Savannah Camellia Trail Community Run & Walk

Lace up for the Savannah Camellia Trail Community Run & Walk, an enchanting event set to unfold on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the charming city of Savannah, GA. This unique experience offers participants the choice of a 5K run or a 1-mile community walk, immersing them in the breathtaking beauty of the Truman Linear Trail. As you traverse the scenic, flat terrain, you'll be surrounded by thousands of youth-planted camellias in peak bloom, creating a vibrant and unforgettable backdrop for your journey. This event marks the first-ever community run and walk on the Truman Linear Park Trail, making it a truly special occasion. Typical race day conditions in late February promise comfortable weather, with highs around 69°F and lows near 46°F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation.

What truly sets this event apart is its integration into Savannah's only community run, art, and food festival. The start and finish are conveniently located at 5715 Skidaway Rd, Savannah, GA, with Cohen's Retreat serving as the hub for a lively, free, open-door festival. Here, you can indulge in delicious food, explore local art, enjoy engaging kids' activities, and witness captivating demonstrations. This non-competitive event welcomes all paces, from seasoned runners to families pushing strollers, and even furry friends on leashes. Restrooms are available at Cohen's Retreat and a portable facility midway along the trail for your convenience. While specific runner reviews for this inaugural course on the Truman Linear Trail are not yet available, the spirit of community and celebration is sure to create a memorable experience. Participants in the 5K run will also receive a commemorative race T-shirt.
